The third practicum focuses on teacher assessment, professional responsibilities, and teacher self-reflection. Students review their post-assessment competencies and prepare for their exit panel interview. The Clinical Practicum experience is designed to enable candidates to gain hands-on experience in leadership as an intern. The Clinical Practicum is a requirement for all administrative licensures, and it has two main goals. The first goal is to give the intern an opportunity to have real experiences related to the school principal position under the supervision of an experienced principal who can offer day-to-day feedback. Secondly, structured dialogues about the leadership field experience, in the form of seminars, are designed to help the intern process and make sense of the experience as a whole. St. Thomas supports the clinical practicum concept as an extension of the learning that takes place in the principal licensure coursework. Prerequisites: EDLD 833 or 853; and one of the following three: EDLD 575, or EDLD 576, or a State-approved teaching license
